Ingredients

• 1 large cucumber, peeled and roughly chopped
• 1 ripe avocado, pitted and scooped
• 1 cup spinach leaves
• 1 cup cold water or coconut water
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
• Ice cubes (optional)
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

1. Begin by prepping your ingredients. Peel and chop the cucumber into large chunks, and scoop out the creamy flesh of the avocado.
2. In a blender, combine the cucumber, avocado, spinach leaves, water or coconut water, lime juice, and honey or agave syrup if using. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Add ice cubes to the blender if you prefer a chilled smoothie. Blend again until the ice is fully crushed and the smoothie is frothy.
4. Pour the smoothie into tall glasses, and garnish with fresh mint leaves for that extra touch of aroma and beauty.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• Substitutions: Feel free to replace the spinach with kale or other leafy greens. For a vegan-friendly option, use agave syrup instead of honey.
• Presentation: Serve in mason jars with a slice of cucumber on the rim for a rustic look. Chilled glasses add an extra layer of refreshment.
• Occasions: This smoothie is perfect for a summer picnic or an energizing breakfast option. Customize it with seasonal fruits for extra flavor.

Storage and Substitutions

• Storage: Any leftover smoothie can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before serving.
• Substitutions: If avocados are out of season, you can use a ripe banana for a different but still creamy twist. For those with a sweet tooth, adding pomegranate juice instead of honey sweetens naturally while providing a beautiful color contrast.
